Abstract

In today's world, GHG emissions, especially CO<subscript>2</subscript>, drive rapid global warming. Construction significantly contributes to this by emitting CO<subscript>2</subscript>. Plants have long been recognized for their role in mitigating climate change through CO<subscript>2</subscript> absorption, enhancing both climate control and environmental beauty. Thus, the aim of this paper is to assess plants' CO<subscript>2</subscript> absorption potential, focusing on recent articles from reputable journals in the past decade. First, we delve into the primary causes of global warming. Next, we explore the philosophy of CO<subscript>2</subscript> emissions in construction, from inception to completion. Finally, CO<subscript>2</subscript> emission control through plantation is examined, exploring the potential of organic and genetically modified plants for real-world applications.
